10 Named Agents Mirror Banking Workflows

Anthropic's repo defines 10 self-contained agents with job titles like Pitch Agent, Market Researcher, Earnings Reviewer, Model Builder, Meeting Prep, GL Reconciler, Month-End Closer, Statement Auditor, Valuation Reviewer, and KYC Screener—each handling end-to-end tasks a Goldman Sachs or Blackstone analyst performs. Pitch Agent builds full branded pitch decks with comps, precedents, and LBOs over a weekend's work. Market Researcher outputs sector overviews, competitive landscapes, peer comps, and investment ideas. Earnings Reviewer processes call audio, press releases, and 10Qs to update models and draft notes. Model Builder runs live DCF, three-statement, and comps models in headless Excel (XLSX output). Middle-office agents like GL Reconciler trace ledger breaks for signoff, Month-End Closer manages accruals and variances, Valuation Reviewer applies firm templates to GP packages for LP reporting, Statement Auditor checks LP statements, and KYC Screener flags compliance gaps from onboarding docs. These replace $80k/year junior roles in accounting and compliance, with human signoff required on all outputs.

Seven vertical skill bundles cover investment banking, equity research, private equity, wealth management, fund admin, operations, plus a core financial analysis bundle shared across agents. Eleven licensed MCP connectors integrate FactSet, S&P Global, Morningstar, Moody's, PitchBook, LSEG, Daloopa, Aiera, Chronograph, MT Newswires, and Egnyte—enabling data pulls only with valid subscriptions.

Plugin Architecture Enables Easy Customization

Each agent is a Claude Code plugin: an agent.md system prompt, skills/ Markdown files, commands/ slash commands, and mcp.js for connector permissions. Skills sync from vertical plugins via sync_agent_skills.py. No build step—install in three commands on Claude's Cowork: add marketplace, install core financial analysis (includes connectors), cherry-pick agents/verticals. Deploy via deploy_managed_agent.sh to /v1/agents API or orchestrate.py event loop for handoffs. Security limits: no bash, web fetch, or undeclared connectors; GitLeaks scans secrets for terminal credentials. May 5 restructure moved verticals to plugins/vertical-plugins/, agents to plugins/agent-plugins/, added managed agent cookbooks, fund admin vertical, and tool grants.

Trade-offs and Fintech Impact

Connectors require paid licenses ($25k/year Bloomberg precedent), so not turnkey—tune prompts and swap data sources for production. Agents are templates, not finished products, but publish full skill ladders: prompts, conventions, audit checklists absent from vendors for 20 years. Forks (1.5k) and stars (11.4k, #1 Python trend day of launch) show traction from years of commits, partner plugins (LSEG, S&P Global). For fintech SaaS builders or agent frameworks, this sets 2026 reference ceiling—prospects can self-host analyst stacks, shifting sales conversations.
